“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Michael Steele deals the race card.....*groan*

You know it's time for a change at the RNC when our guy plays the race card.....

Embattled Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said he won't resign despite calls for him to step down amid reports of the group's excessive spending, adding that he and other African-American leaders such as President Obama have a slimmer margin of error because of their race.

Claiming that you are held to an unfair standard because of your skin color, as an excuse for bad behavior, is grounds for immediate replacement in the RNC leadership as far as I'm concerned. It's no different that Obama's defenders accusing tea party activists of racism because we disagree with his political policies. The last thing conservatives need is a black leader whining about institutional and societal racism in order to cover up his mistakes and corruption.
